5 ways to Solve “insufficient storage available” on Android

There happened a huge changes in the smart phone world with in last 6 years. While HTC releasing their Dream Smart phone in 2008, none of us though that there will happen a big changes in this field. After that Many new Android OS and similar Smart Phone OS came and now we are at Lollipop version of Android. Millions of Android devices were sold all over the world. Variety and collection of application is the main reason behind the success of Android.
Every technologies or products have its own advantages and disadvantages. After migrating from traditional JAVA mobiles to Android, one of the important problem is the lack of storage. As java applications requite less than 1 MB space, we were able to install lot of applications and games. Whereas in Android, one of the biggest problem that are facing by low-end android device is the memory or storage issue. After installing some of the necessary applications like Whatsapp, Facebook and MX player, there will be no further space for other games and applications.
Last day I got a gift from my cousin. It was a BSNL penta tablet. It contains Jellybean as Android version and also have all other features of android devices. But the problem is I can’t install more than 5 apps in it. I installed necessary apps like MX player, Whatsapp, Facebook and my favorite game Clash of Clans. After that there is only a few space. After these installation, whenever I try to install a new application or game, it shows “insufficient storage available” error message and the installation gets cancelled.

I have 8GB SD card.Still insufficient storage available

Many guys confused that why they are getting this error even though they have remaining storage space in their SD card. Let me clarify it. Almost all of the android devices have two types of storage available. Internal Storage and the external Storage. Internal Storage is the place where every necessary files needed for the working of your smart phone getting stored. For example the OS is getting stored on the internal storage. Almost all of the apps were also getting stored on your Internal Storage. Not only these apps, but also their cache and data were also getting stored in these internal storage Area.
External Storage is the place where Music, Pictures, and other files getting stored. If you are taking a photo using your Mobile, then it probably get stored in the secondary storage. So if you have 64GB external storage and 512 MB internal storage, there will be no use.
We are here with some of the advanced way to resolve  insufficient storage available problemon your low price mobile or tablet.

Resolve “insufficient storage available” problem easily

1:Uninstall unwanted apps
This is the important thing you should do if you are out of storage space. There will be many unwanted apps that are playing with your valuable storage are. First of all get rid of these apps and clean the storage. For deleting apps from your device,

Keep in mind that never delete Apps like Play Store, Play Service as those are important ones.
2: Clear the Cache
Cache means a temporary storage area. Think that you are browsing through a browser app. There will be chance for more cache as browsers are dealing with many types of images and other real world contents. There will be no issues for deleting the cache but you need to re download them while using the service again. For example, If you delete the cache of Facebook app, the user profiles and other icons get deleted from the internal storage and get downloaded again if you are visiting profiles again. To clear the cache
  • Go to Settings
  • Apps
  • Choose an app which have Cache
  • Clear cache

 3: Move apps from device to SD card
With the help of some applications, you can easily move apps that are installed in the device memory to the SD card. If you haven’t tried this yet, just make a try and see how much storage space you could save. Some apps on the app store require root permission to move apps to SD card and some others doesn’t require. You can try this app to move your apps directly to SD card without rooting your device.

4:Move Pictures and Large files in Internal memory to the SD card
Once You remove the SD card, the whole contents like pictures you take, Downloaded files, received files etc comes under internal storage. So make a checking that whether you have large files inside your internal storage. If so move it to the SD card. Every time putting files in the SD card is more safe than putting it in the phone storage.
All the above recommendations are very effective against “insufficient storage available” problem of android device. Among them moving apps to SD card and Clearing cache are more important. Also if you have unwanted apps or games installed, get rid of them. Not only storage space but also background working apps took RAM memory and put your device very slow. Clearing the cache of your apps give some more storage space. There are also some cache cleaner apps in Play Store, which is more effective than manual Cache clearing, You can also try those apps and once cleared, uninstall them. If you know any other way to increase the storage space of android devices, please let us know. If you have some informative knowledge about this, we are happy to include it in this page.

Torrent downloading blocked in College,Office WiFi networks – Unlock it easily

In order to avoid unwanted downloads, majority of offices, schools, colleges and other private Networks block websites like Facebook, torrent, and entertainment websites. You will get some error messages when you try to access those webpages. I am forced to write this article due to my own experience. Last month I joined for Masters in Computer Application. In our college, there is a public Wi-Fi with 10 times more speed than my home network. It requires only 1 or two hours to download a movie where as in my home it requires 10-15 hours. But when we ask about college Wi-Fi to one of our senior guy, he said that some of the webpages including torrent is blocked on the network. No problem for Facebook, YouTube etc.
Now What to do? I don’t like to spent my 2 years on fb and YouTube. I started finding some awesome way to unlock the torrent to download torrent files from blocked networks. Finally it worked. Now I am the only one who downloads movies and software from our college WiFi with a speed of 1MB-2MB/Sec [This is India where average speed of networks are below 50KB/Sec]. After this, Friends always says that college WiFi is very slow but I never told them what is the reason.

Step 1: Download .torrent files in blocked networks


The first step to download torrent files is to download the .torrent file which you want to download. You know there are hundreds of torrent hosting websites in which you can search your desired file and download the .torrent file. You may familiar with the top using torrent search engines like
http://torrentz.eu
http://www.torrentdownloads.me
http://www.torrentfunk.com
http://bitsnoop.com
http://www.torrentcrazy.com
Go to any of the above websites and search for your desired file. For ex: If you want to download adobe Photoshop, navigate to any of the above site and search for it. Then you download the .torrent file.

My torrent Search Engines are also Blocked. Then What?


Many Colleges, universities, Offices, Schools blocks the torrent websites. Most commonly the biggest search engines like http://torrentz.eu, http://www.torrentdownloads.me etc. When we navigate to this pages, it show some network errors. If they blocked torrent sites instead of P2P traffic, our work is so simple. We just need to use some proxy websites to unblock the blocked websites.

Easy Solution if the torrent search engines are blocked instead of torrent ports

As I mentioned above, Many institution blocks just the major torrent search engines. While the user try to enter these sites they will get network error message. Hence they will stop trying download torrent files. If somebody have a knowledge in handling proxy websites for unlocking locked/blocked websites, they will surely use them and unblock these torrent websites.
The above link shows how you can unblock a blocked websites. Here I am telling you only a brief description.
♦ Go to any of the free proxy websites. [ProxySite.com,Filterbypass.me etc are examples]
unblock torrent
♦ Enter the address of your favorite torrent search engines in the proxy websites address bar.
♦ Now you bypassed the blocked torrent website.
♦ Search and download the torrent file.
♦ Use utorrent or similar application for downloading the torrent file.

utorrent application is blocked instead of torrent websites

If your college, school authorities have little bit technical skill, they will block p2p traffic of the Wi-Fi. In that case none of the peer to peer applications like utorrent get worked. The settings of router won’t allows other computers to connect with your’s and allow file sharing. If this is the situation, try downloading torrent data via Internet Download manager.

Step2:- Download Torrent Data through IDM or through other similar Services

No way you can download torrent data if the admin had blocked all P2P data sharing in the router. When You use utorrent under this situation, Download and Upload rate won’t change from 0KB/s. This is because you can’t join with other seeders of the torrent file. In this case downloading torrent files through IDM only get work.
♦ Download .torrent file in any way [Step 1 will help you]
♦ Now Upload the .torrent file in any of the website that allows you to download torrent directly via your browser or through download managers. [zbigz.com,furk.net etc] offers similar service. You can read the complete story of downloading torrent directly from here.

Through this method, you could able to download torrent files with great speed. But one problem is that, you should keep downloading continues. If you try to Pause and play, you may loose the download. I hope that there will be no problem for those have huge Internet bandwidth. You can ask any doubts regarding the torrent download in bloked networks. We are happy to help you.
